underratted-overrated

So an ass clown sports editor up here in Columbia, SC wrote a very simple article yesterday titled, "Underrated/Overrated". His article was horribly done, but it did get me to thinking of my own Underrated/Overrated list. Here we go.

Underrated: The Girl driving an early 1990s white or black Volvo. There is something terribly sexy about this Girl. I may never put my finger on it completely, but every girl I have passed driving one of these Swedish machines has hooked me line and sinker with their en vogue sunglass, political bumper sticks, and looking amazing while sipping on their iced coffee...

Overrated: The Girl driving a convertible anything. As you go for the pass and you see locks of blonde hair dancing in the wind your mind begins racing through the many hot possibilities this girls face will possess...Beautiful lips, dimples, perfect teeth, etc...As you pull equal and eagerly await the turn of her chick, you ignore speed limits, off ramps, and possibly even motorcyclists....Then she turns and stares you in the face with her googley eye and two chins, as she exhales her Newport, and your foot turns into lead.

Underrated: Any White/Wheat Ale. I have become addicted to any brewery's white ale. My favorite may actually be the Liberty Tap Room's. Orgasmic it is. I am usually against fruit and beer....but the orange plus wheat beer equals love and harmony.

Overrated: Grand Marnier. Listen people, you are not suppose to shoot "Grandma"...in fact, I am not sure you are even suppose to drink it. Its best use is for fueling Kerosene Heaters or starting your grill...not being guzzled out of a dirty shot-glass at room temperature...I feel my ribs cracking just thinking about it.

Underrated: The Girl running on the side of the road. Unlike Convertible Girl, this girl never seems to disappoint. Just the girl's humble attempt to get into shape is a turn-on. This Girl has caused wrecks across the country. God bless you running girl.

Overrated: Hooters Girl. I was dragged to Hooters against my will last month during training for work and quickly my low expectations weren't even met. The girls at Hooters are rarely attractive, much less good servers. Top that with food that I could buy in a bag from Piggly Wiggly's frozen food section and you have yourself a very mediocre experience. These girls think they are smoking hot, otherwise how would they have gotten the job...at least that is their mentality....Unfortunately, just like when your mom used to tell you you could sing, the managers are telling them they are hot...Also unfortunate is that Hooters was created by a Clemson grad...hence the orange...

Underrated: Grocery Shopping. There are few things I enjoy more than going to my local, over-priced grocery store with my iPod on and surveying canned foods and baby spinach expiration dates. As sad as it is, its one of my favorite events to take part in each week. I swear a single's mixer night at a Whole Foods or even a Publix would be awesome...Throw in a wine tasting and good music, and you have a hit on your hands. Mark my words...

Overrated: Walmart. Need I say more. I respect the late Sam Walton, but the store that bears his name can go to hell.

Underrated: How I Met Your Mom. The show is seemingly written by a bunch of average middle class white guys...I guess thats what makes it great. Check it out if you get a chance on CBS. Most episodes are based on an event that has happened to you at least once.

Overrated: ER. Did this show get cancelled ten years ago and somebody forget to tell the cast? Seriously who watches this show in 2008? I would rather NBC put Days of Our Lives on prime time than ER. At least that show is believeable. Though I hate that Victor Kiriakis. Damn you Kiriakis...Damn you.

Underrated: Brian Rietveld. Have you seen him lately...He is all bronzed and tone...Don't know how that kid does it.

Overrated: Brad Pitt. Are you serious...Just look at the god awful movies he has starred in: Seven, Snatch, A River Runs Through It...give me a break...

Anyway, that is my Underrated/Overrated list for now. I hope all is well with you all. Let me know what you think is Underrated/Overrated.
